Sourwood Tree
This tree is most observable during the warmer months of the year. Bees gather around, one of its big attractions.

Sourwood trees
The trees look excellent - robust and healthy. There is a problem, however, with the packaging. The material provided to keep the roots moist was not fastened around them well enough and had allowed the roots of some trees to become completely dry.
We are planting them anyway and hope for the best, but it is a shame that such healthy, vigorous trees are not shipped with a similar care as is taken in growing them!

Description
Sourwood is a Flowering, Bee Attracting Tree
Sourwood flowers attract bees that produce light to medium-colored honey, which is popular in the south. The sourwood, also known as Oxydendrum arboretum, is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to the Eastern and Southeastern United States. You can find the sourwood from the coast of Virginia to North Carolina, over into Southern Ohio and Indiana, and down to Mississippi and Louisiana.
It has a slow growth rate, reaches a height of 25-30 feet, and can take 12-15 years to reach a height of just 15 feet. This tree has a rounded top and branches that droop, making it appear graceful. Robbinsville, NC, is home to the most massive known Sourwood tree with a height of 118 feet and a trunk 2 feet wide.
Sourwood can be grown in zones 5 to 9 and is a Fantastic Tree in Slightly Acidic Soil (pH 5.5-6.5).
While this tree will do well in full sun or partial shade, its flowers and fall color do best in full sun. It is sensitive to root disturbance and dry, compacted soil. The bark is a grayish-brown color that is tinged with red and features thick, scaly ridges. Its lumber is used for tool handles and at one time was used in wagon sled runners.
This tree has dark green, glossy leaves with an oblong shape. The sheets measure 3 to 8 inches long and taper off into a point. Native Americans once used the leaves in a variety of medicines. In early summer, the sourwood blooms with small, white bell-shaped flowers about a quarter-inch size that grows at the end of the branches. The flowers give way to clusters of small, brown fruit that look like tassels. In the fall, the leaves turn an intense shade of red, purplish-red, or sometimes yellow, making this tree a real showstopper.
These lovely trees acquire their magnificence during the mid-years warmth months.
These trees, not at all like numerous others, don't sprout until the warmth of summer. The sourwood sprout tree is vast and white, coming in little bunches. These tiny sprouts are fragrant and go with the dark green clears out.
These trees transform into reference points of red, yellow, and orange in the fall, looking like living flames. Likewise, these trees deliver tiny dim seeds that can be eaten by flying creatures and give a winter sustenance source. The Sourwood tree develops as high as thirty feet. However, it remains genuinely little.
